madvise(2) except that it operates on a file descriptor instead of a
memory region. It is currently only supported on regular files.
Just as with madvise(2), the advice given to posix_fadvise(2) can be
divided into two types. The first type provide hints about data access
patterns and are used in the file read and write routines to modify the
I/O flags passed down to VOP_READ() and VOP_WRITE(). These modes are
thus filesystem independent. Note that to ease implementation (and
since this API is only advisory anyway), only a single non-normal
range is allowed per file descriptor.
The second type of hints are used to hint to the OS that data will or
will not be used. These hints are implemented via a new VOP_ADVISE().
A default implementation is provided which does nothing for the WILLNEED
request and attempts to move any clean pages to the cache page queue for
the DONTNEED request. This latter case required two other changes.
First, a new V_CLEANONLY flag was added to vinvalbuf(). This requests
vinvalbuf() to only flush clean buffers for the vnode from the buffer
cache and to not remove any backing pages from the vnode. This is
used to ensure clean pages are not wired into the buffer cache before
attempting to move them to the cache page queue. The second change adds
a new vm_object_page_cache() method. This method is somewhat similar to
vm_object_page_remove() except that instead of freeing each page in the
specified range, it attempts to move clean pages to the cache queue if
possible.
To preserve the ABI of struct file, the f_cdevpriv pointer is now reused
in a union to point to the currently active advice region if one is
present for regular files.

only logged instances where an operation on a file descriptor required
capabilities which the file descriptor did not have. By adding a type enum
to struct ktr_cap_fail, we can catch other types of capability failures as
well, such as disallowed system calls or attempts to wrap a file descriptor
with more capabilities than it had to begin with.

This has been irking me for a while. This causes significant
CPU use on bottlenecked CPUs (eg my older EEEPC w/ an earlier
Celeron CPU and my MIPS24k boards) when they're passing
a lot of traffic.
Since the file/line values are only used for printing, this
should only affect display. It should have no operational
change on the code, besides reducing CPU use.
so that if no vnodes in the filesystem are actively in use the unmount
will succeed rather than failing with EBUSY.

itself, which sparc64 hardware doesn't support. One way to solve this
would be to directly call sched_preempt() instead of issuing a self-IPI.
However, quoting jhb@:
"On the other hand, you can probably just skip the IPI entirely if we are
going to send it to the current CPU. Presumably, once this routine
finishes, the current CPU will exit softlock (or will do so "soon") and
will then pick the next thread to run based on the adjustments made in
this routine, so there's no need to IPI the CPU running this routine
anyway. I think this is the better solution. Right now what is probably
happening on other platforms is as soon as this routine finishes the CPU
processes its self-IPI and causes mi_switch() which will just switch back
to the softclock thread it is already running."
- With r226054 and the the above change in place, sparc64 now no longer is
incompatible with ULE and vice versa. However, powerpc/E500 still is.

POSIX/SUSvN. The sigwait(2) syscall does return EINTR, and libc.so.7
contains the wrapper sigwait(3) which hides EINTR from callers. The
EINTR return is used by libthr to handle required cancellation point
in the sigwait(3).
To help the binaries linked against pre-libc.so.7, i.e. RELENG_6 and
earlier, to have right ABI for sigwait(3), transform EINTR return from
sigwait(2) into ERESTART.

wdog_kern_pat() acquires eventhandler mutex, thus it cannot work in
kernel context (from where kdb_trap() runs).
The right way to fix this is both offering the
cpu-stop-on-panic-and-skip-locking logic and also a context for KDB
to officially run. We can re-enable this (or a similar) improvement
when these 2 patches hit the tree.

While this is generally ok, the problem is that all the consumers
handle similar cases (and expect to catch) ENOSPC for this (for a
reference look at minidumpsys() and dumpsys() constructions). That
ends up in consumers not recognizing the issue and amd64 failing to
retry if the number of pages grows up during minidump.
Fix this by returning ENOSPC in dump_write() and while here add some
more diagnostic on involved values.
